Chapter 671: Radiant Sun Sword
HUMMMMM…
The Magical Treasure that Jiang Chen had refined began to vibrate.
Immediately after, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the surrounding world also fell into turmoil.
“Hm?”
“What’s going on?”
“What happened? Why is the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in turmoil?”
Many people were baffled, as they had no idea why the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was in turmoil.
Even Zuo Siming looked around in confusion.
On the stage, the seated Elder Qiu and Elder Han were also rather astonished.
Then, Elder Qiu’s expression suddenly changed. He instantly looked toward Jiang Chen—no, toward the Magical Treasure Jiang Chen had just finished refining.
After taking a closer look, he nearly leaped out of his seat.
He exclaimed, “How is this possible?”
“This… This is…”
Elder Han also shot up from his seat in utter astonishment, rising almost involuntarily.
After his initial surprise, he came to his senses and looked at the Magical Treasure Jiang Chen had refined.
He let out a loud cry, “A Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Canister!”
“This is a sign that a Treasure Artifact has been refined!”
When a Treasure Artifact is formed, it typically undergoes a Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Canister.
Treasure Artifacts are different from Dharma Artifacts. A Dharma Artifact requires a Martial Cultivator to input their own Cultivation Power to be activated.
But a Treasure Artifact requires no Cultivation Power from a Martial Cultivator to activate, because when it is formed, it undergoes a Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Canister, giving birth to a treasure glow.
It’s equivalent to being consecrated by the heavens and earth, acknowledged by them.
At this moment, as Elders of the Artifact Refiner Guild and veteran Artifact Refiners themselves, they naturally understood what this scene meant.
Someone had refined a Treasure Artifact, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was beginning the Canister process.
BOOM!
Elder Qiu’s entire body trembled. He couldn’t believe it.
He had been looking down on Jiang Chen completely and didn’t believe Jiang Chen could refine a Treasure Artifact. But now, as the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Canister was happening, he finally realized that Jiang Chen had truly refined a Treasure Artifact.
A storm of emotions surged through his heart.
After all, how could someone who just became a One-Star Supreme Refiner possibly refine a Treasure Artifact?
It was too incredible.
Elder Qiu thought back to what he had said before, and his face flushed red. He felt as if he’d been brutally slapped in the face.
The Jiang Chen he had looked down upon had actually refined a Treasure Artifact.
Elder Han’s jaw had dropped.
“A Treasure Artifact… It’s really a Treasure Artifact.”
“That kid… He actually refined a Treasure Artifact.”
Of course, there were some in the crowd who also understood what was happening.
Cries of shock rang out continuously.
“Heavens, that’s the sign of a Treasure Artifact appearing!”
“The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is canistering a Magical Treasure! A Treasure Artifact! Unbelievable!”
“Isn’t this person a One-Star Supreme Refiner? How could he refine a Treasure Artifact?”
Some of the people who had been cheering for Zuo Siming also heard the words of those in the know around them.
Instantly, they all fell silent, as if they had been struck dumb.
Their cheers died in their throats, as if they were ducks being strangled.
The voices of the Zuo Family had been the loudest, but at the moment the gasps of shock spread, their cheers grew quieter and quieter until they suddenly came to an abrupt halt.
No one was cheering for Zuo Siming anymore.
Someone from the Zuo Family cried out, “That’s a Treasure Artifact…”
When these words were spoken, every member of the Zuo Family looked as if they had been struck by lightning.
Zuo Siming himself stood there, completely stunned.
He was utterly unable to process what was happening.
He naturally knew about the Primordial Qi Canister process for Magical Treasures.
But he refused to believe that Jiang Chen could refine a Treasure Artifact.
At this moment, he just kept shaking his head.
He couldn’t accept this reality.
He was even starting to ramble incoherently.
He looked at Elder Qiu. “Elder Qiu, what exactly is happening?”
“This isn’t a Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Canister, right?”
This was Zuo Siming’s way of trying to console himself.
After all, he had signed a life-and-death agreement. If Jiang Chen had really refined a Treasure Artifact, he would have to commit suicide in public. He absolutely could not accept suicide.
His heart suddenly began to tremble with fear.
He tried to believe that what he was seeing was just an illusion.
Elder Qiu suddenly said, “It’s not certain yet.”
“The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Canister isn’t over. If the Canister fails in the end, he still won’t win.”
If the Canister process for a Treasure Artifact fails, the artifact becomes scrap, worse than even a Dharma Artifact.
So, if it fails, Jiang Chen will surely lose to Zuo Siming.
“Right, it’s bound to fail.”
“I don’t believe he can actually refine a Treasure Artifact.”
Despite his words, Zuo Siming’s body was trembling slightly.
He was extremely nervous, his eyes fixed on the sword undergoing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Canister.
His hands were shaking uncontrollably.
As if he were having a seizure.
BUZZ…
The Magical Treasure Jiang Chen had refined was now suspended in midair. Undergoing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Canister, the sword’s blade trembled violently.
At the same time, the blade began to emit a dense light, a radiance like the sun itself.
This was the unique treasure glow of a Treasure Artifact. Possessing a treasure glow is what distinguishes it from a Dharma Artifact.
Although Dharma Artifacts can also be consecrated, the light from a consecrated Dharma Artifact is merely ordinary.
A Treasure Artifact, however, constantly emits its treasure glow.
And right now, that treasure glow was growing more and more brilliant.
Until, at a certain moment…
HUMMM…
The sword’s blade shuddered, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi suddenly dispersed.
But now, the light from the sword had reached a terrifying level.
“It’s done.”
“Gods, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Canister succeeded!”
“A Treasure Artifact has been born! A true Treasure Artifact has been born!”
“That kid refined a Treasure Artifact! Unbelievable!”
A wave of exclamations followed, spreading rapidly like a plague.
The crowd below the stage was utterly stunned.
Everyone’s jaws were hanging open.
A Treasure Artifact was a Magical Treasure far superior to a Dharma Artifact. In terms of value, even the most common Treasure Artifact was over a hundred times more expensive than a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact.
If a Supreme-Grade Dharma Artifact was worth a hundred thousand, then a Treasure Artifact was worth at least ten million.
There was a fundamental difference between a Treasure Artifact and a Dharma Artifact.
“This…”
Elder Qiu swallowed hard. He too could refine Treasure Artifacts, so he understood even better what it meant for someone to be able to refine one.
It meant that Jiang Chen was a Two-Star Refiner, with a status in the Artifact Refining Realm that could rival even old-timers like them.
Jiang Chen could stand on equal footing with them. He would have no problem becoming an Elder in the Artifact Refiner Guild.
‘And I actually kept looking down on such a genius Artifact Refiner.’
Elder Han also took a deep breath.
He said to Elder Qiu, “He’s not inferior in any way to the genius Artifact Refiner, Ao Xue.”
“And he refined a Treasure Artifact the very day after becoming a One-Star Supreme Refiner.”
“No… He’s even more of a genius than Ao Xue.”
Jiang Chen reached out his hand, and the sword flew directly to him, landing in his grasp.
But the light from the sword was still so intense it could blind a person.
He held the sword. This was also the first time he had successfully refined a Treasure Artifact.
He immediately addressed the Treasure Artifact, “Since your birth rivals the sun, I will bestow upon you the name Radiant Sun Sword.”
Holding the Radiant Sun Sword, Jiang Chen slowly walked toward Elder Qiu and Elder Han.
